Lyrics
City Lights
Walk with me to the flowing river
Far from those city lights
Sit with me and reconsider
The beauty here before your eyes
Sunlight gleams on the water
Far from those city lights
Feel the wind like a whisper
Hear the trees softly sigh
Walk the path of mother nature
Far from those city lights
Bend your back to the simple work
Your fathers did back in time
Stand here in simplicity
Far from those city lights
Far from endless destiny
Hold on to what is right
